If you haven't read the books you would probably be thrilled. They just can't do what Rollins does in 2.5 hours. Lots of details missing...back story...explanation. I did a lot of whispering to the person who went with me to explain...she hasn't read the books. I think they honored most of the story as well as to be expected. However, I was disappointed that they actually CHANGED part of the story. They haven't done that before. The entire scene at the end with Dumbledore is not acurate to the book. I hope they spilt the last book into two movies so they can explain more and get more in. All and all a great movie. They need a 3 hour movie with intermission :)
